UPCOMING EVENTS

The Brent faculty has dedicated an immense amount of time and energy to our class development process. Teaching teams took into account individual student needs through multiple lenses (effective and ineffective co-learners, academic strengths and growth areas, social development, gender, ethnicity, and parent input) to create balanced classroom communities for the coming year. After receiving those class lists, the Brent administration reviewed the composition of students and teachers, making minor adjustments to incorporate new students or to accommodate for unexpected classroom changes. We returned these lists to teachers for a final review and voila –published lists!

As you can see, classes were composed using an extensive amount of thought and input to ensure that the best placement for each and every student. lf you note something unexpected (such as an imbalance in gender or class numbers), please know that it was a reasoned decision (there may have been a grade-level imbalance in genders or an extra instructional adult will be present in that classroom).

I hope that you and your child(ren) will be excited to discover this year'steacher(s) and classmates, and l am confident in all of our teachers' ability to foster academic growth, social development and community in their classrooms. As such, I ask that placements remain for six weeks before considering changes, and we will work together to assuage any concerns in the meantime. However, if there are misspellings or omitted students, please let me know and we will rectify the situation immediately. Please also take a moment to review our new faculty pictures and bios on the Brent website as they are posted over the coming days. We are privileged to have a skilled and consistent group of Brent faculty returning to our community for another year and to have several new additions to match our growth!
